Shrines and Temples of Nikko,Japan.




The Shrines and Temples of Nikko form a single complex composed of one hundred three religious buildings within two Shinto shrines and one Buddhist temple  located in an outstanding natural setting.
The first buildings were constructed on the slopes of the sacred Nikko mountains by a Buddhist monk in the 8th century. They have for centuries been a sacred site known for its architectural and decorative masterpieces. They are closely associated with the history of the Tokugawa Shoguns.
